Mushkin Callisto 120GB SSD Review

Testing:

HD Tune 3.50 Pro measures disk performance to make comparisons between drives or disk controllers. In the 3.50 Pro version, the user can measure not only drive performance as a whole, but more precise file benchmarks, and a random access benchmark as well.

Random Access Benchmark:

In the HDTune benchmark, the Mushkin Callisto performed very well. Although the drive never reached its capable max read and write speeds, it did have the better burst speeds than all other drives and surpassed all but the Corsair Nova in the average read test. In the file benchmark portion of the test, the Mushkin drive easily outperformed the other drives and, even with the 4K small write limitation, performed very well.
